Words From the Wise

Wisdom matters, because wisdom allows us to live in God's world as it is, and not to be fooled by what is unreal. In this section of Proverbs, the beginning of the "Words of the Wise," we have an exhortation to hear, warnings about bad behaviour and bad company, and a warning about the dangers of the social heights that implies the importance of seeking the true and the lasting and the real.
